"A Shortage In Wheat.

A remarkable phase In the wheat situation
In the Northwest has been figured out by Col.
Il. D. Rogers, of. TIE Market Record. The
wheat receipts in Minneapolis since Aug. l
have been 12,OOOOOO bushels. Since that time
lS,OOo,OOO have gone out Of sight in MInneapo-
lis OF which the shipments were 2,729, 10
bushels. This indicates local consumption
OF 10000, 900 bushels, which continued through
the year would absorb 4O, O,OOO, 900 bushels. At
the same rate Of shipment, 10000, 600 bushels
will be required for that purpose, or a total of
6o,OOO,OOO bushels to supply tho local crop de-
mands for the crop year.
The wheat supply in Minnesota and Dakota
is SO, 100000 bushels. OF this Duluth has taken
3,9sO,OOO bushels. She will probably take H.
100000 bushels during the year. This leaves
6S,OOO,00O bushels for all other PURPOSES
About 100000 bushels are required in Min
nesota and Dakota for bread and seed. About
100000 bushels will be shipped out of the
state by routes south Of Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth and will not appear at the termi.
nal points. The capacity OF merchant mills In
Minnesota and Dakotu equals the capacity Of
Minneapolis, but they do not run all the year
round. They will turn out flour enough, how
ever, to consume $1,000, 900 bushels Of wheat.
From the beginning of the crop year the -four
output has exceeded that Of a year ago and the
mills cannot possibly get through without
using 30,OOO,OOO bushels Of wheat, Taking
these several requirements The amount needed
exceeds tho total crop, as shown by the fol-
lowing statement:

We publish in another part Of to.day's pa-
per several extracts in regard to tho new rail-
road known as the Minnesota Il Dakota. The
general manager Of the road, Col. A. s. Brit
ton, with corps Of surveyors, arrived at Sher-
brooke last Friday and remained till Tuesday.
During the stay Of the party at Sherbrooke a
good deal of Office work was done by Col
Britton and the chief engineer. Col. Britton
was quite emphatic in declaring that the en-
terprise is bona fide one, and that 1t is the
intention Of the company to build road from
Fargo to some point on the Montana boundary
without unnecessary delay. The surveying
party which was at Sherbrooke was well
equipped with tents, stoves, horses, wagons
and all appliances necessary for prosecuting
work during cold weather, and they expect to
remain in the field for some weeks yet Few
people here take any stock in tile assertion
that this is au independent enterprise, but are
rather inclined to believe that it is in the in
terest Of either the Minneapolis & Pacific or
the Milwaukee u St. Paul.

Correspondence OF the India napoiis Journal
HARPER's FERRY. Nov. 15.-One of the notice
able things concerning the towns of this part OF

Herper's Ferry is within the great grant of
land made to Lord Fairfax. who built Green
